Nicolas Catinat, Maréchal de France

L. Roger

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an oval portrait of a person's upper body. The individual is positioned facing slightly to the left while looking directly at the viewer. Their facial features include a prominent brow and nose, with slightly deep-set eyes and a resolute expression. The person has long, full, curly hair that cascades down past the shoulders, framing the face. They are wearing armor with visible sections on the chest, and their neck is adorned with a large, elaborately tied white cravat with lace details. There is no visible jewelry or objects in the person's hands. The background is a plain, muted shade with an oval border emphasizing the figure.
